An application for grant support was received from the Carers Association Cork under the Scheme of Community Support for Older People on 13 May 2010. Officials of my Department contacted the group on a number of occasions to address outstanding items, including incomplete application forms for the applicant older persons. These matters have now been resolved and I am advised that a payment will issue in the coming week.
